Photoshop CS6 for Photographers: Camera Raw 7

Author

Released

5/18/2012

This course provides in-depth training on Camera Raw 7, the Photoshop CS6 component that enables photographers to open and manipulate raw format images. Raw images are minimally processed in the camera; they're effectively the exact data recorded by the camera's sensor. Author Chris Orwig shows you how to control a raw image's appearance—exposure, shadow and highlight detail, color balance, and sharpness—with far more precision than is possible with JPEG images. The course also introduces the new workflow procedures and technical concepts and issues associated with raw content, so that photographers can best leverage this powerful format.

Topics include:

Comparing the raw, JPG, and TIFF formats

Converting or saving to the DNG format

Enhancing color and tone

Cropping and composing

Sharpening and noise reduction

Using the Camera Raw histogram

Batch editing

Correcting for under- and overexposure

Retouching blemishes

Making lens corrections

Calibrating your camera

Speeding up your workflow with actions
